hey ollie. Its not too hard pal.
Easier to do with the engine out, but just means ya have to go from underneath rather than the top.
Is it PAS or normal??

A std rack and an EPAS rack are the same.
to change is ok like chris said - easier if engine is out.
where are you ? - if local to me might be able to help
